LATIN MASS

2. LATIN PRONOUNCIATION
Regarding the correct pronunciation of Latin words, vowels, and
consonants, we are not concerned with the delicate question of how the
ancient Romans pronounced their native language but only with the
pronunciation of the living Liturgical Latin of the Church. Our aim,
therefore, in compliance with the wishes of Pope St. Pius X (as well as of
his successors), is to pronounce and speak Latin more Romano (in the
Roman style). Referring to this Liturgical Pronunciation of Latin, Pope
Pius XI, in a letter to Card. Dubois of Paris, expressed himself: “Not
content like Our Predecessors, Pius X and Benedict XV, simply to
approve this pronunciation. We ourselves express the keenest desire that
[…] every nation shall endeavor to adopt it when carrying out liturgical
functions.”
VOWELS:
N.B. Long vowels are held slightly longer and more stressed than short
vowels. Short vowels are pronounced more quickly and are not stressed.
CONSONANTS:
N.B. Most consonants are pronounced as in English, with the following
considerations:
Long Short
à as in father ;
è as in fare ;
ì, y as in machine ;
ò as in loss or law ;
ù as in moon.
a as in facility ;
e as in let ;
i as in machine ;
o as in loss or law ;
u as in moon.
c before a, o, u, like k ;
c before e, i, ae (or æ), oe (or œ) like ch in charity ;
cc before e or i like tch in match ;
ch before e or i like k ;
g before a, o, u, like g in gate.
